baby blanket 2/3s

It’s been just about two weeks since the last time I picked up a crochet hook. But surprisingly I’m not discouraged or getting sick of my blanket project yet. The lag has been due to a new excitement with fabrics lately, but more on that later. Last week I laid out all the finished squares to get an idea of where I stood for progress. 2/3’s done! I’ve made the decision to make the blanket square, 6x6 squares. That will keep the blanket from getting too heavy, and there’s less chance that I will get tired of making it. 2/3’s done sounds much better than half way.

Last weekend I went home to do some much needed clothes shopping. I’m now 25 weeks and managed to get this far with 2 maternity shirts and the rest was my own clothes or Chris’s clothes. I wasn’t going to make it much longer though. While home I borrowed a tapestry needle from Mom and started sewing some of the squares together. The process wasn’t as tedious as I thought it might be. So far I’ve been able to use the spare ends to sew together the squares. So I haven’t needed any additional yarn. They look so much better sewn together too. I need to break out the yarn again and get crocheting. Only 11 squares left to go!
